Lustheld's Local.

We have just received a large and well
selected stock of gloves and mittens ioi
winter wear which are best told oi in an
extract from Longfellow's famous poem,
Hiawatha:
He killed the noble muskrat kittens,
With the skin he made him mittens,
Made them with the fur side inside,
Made them with the skin side outside;
He TO get the warm side inside,
Put the inside skin side outside,
Put the warm side fur side inside,
That's why he put tue fur side inside,
Why he put the skin side outside.
Why he turned them inside outside.
Our poet, who is not feeling very well
inst now, manages 10 grind out this;
Ifyon compare ourgoods with others side by side,
You'll find ours the cheaper by dam side.
sogo 10 The Fair by day or by night,
And youll be sure 20 get your goods right.
Our poet is now engaged in writing a

Newspaper Influence

The late Judge David Davis, of Hi
n"is, whose judgment on any important
problem was seldom questioned, express
ed his views as follows regarding the
value OF local newspaper;
Each year every local paper gives
from 800 to 1900 in free lines for the
benefit of the community iu which it Is
located No other agency Can or will
do this, The local editor. in proportion
to his means, does more for his town
than any other ten men, and in all fairs
ness. man TO man, he ought to be sup>
ported. not because you happen to like
him or admire his writings, but because a
local paper is the best Investment that a
community can make. 1t may not be
brilliant or crowded with great thoughts,
but financially it is more of benefit to a
community than teacher or preacher
Understand us now, we do not mean
morally or intellectually, but financially
and yet on the moral question you will
find the majority of the local papers on
the right side of the question. Today the
editors OF local papers do the most work
for the least money of any man on earth
Subscribe for your paper, not as a
charity but as an investment.

OH when times are dull and stupid;
when is hard to make men laugh, who
will fire our minds as you did with d
theme for paragraph And when We are
sour or bilious, when It's in our souls to
scold, who with vinegar did fill US as
thou didst, our Carter bold?
Fare the well, and if forever, then
forever. fare thee well; yet we cannot
from the sever e'er our sorrow We can
tell. Thou were ever here to give us
subjects for column screed; and the
interviewer. will miss thee sadly in his
days of need.
Often thou hast raved in passion; often
hast though damned the press, for thou
wouldst have it fashion all its ways to
thy care. Au revoir, may heaven bless
thee, thou vert not entirely bad; our
adieu must not distress thee, our fond
parting make thee mad
Then 80 long! May angels guide thee
on thy trip around the sphere; mag the
best of luck betide thee; may thy soul
be filled with cheer; We must not oul
anguish hide; we must learn to do with
out thee. Carter; we must let thee slide
